A Darker Shade of Magic by V.E. Schwab

4.0

This was a really smooth, quick read for me which I wasn’t expecting but was pleasantly surprised with. I really liked the world of the four Londons I found it really original and fascinating especially in the way the worlds interact and impact each other. Surprisingly, I didn’t feel super close to the characters through most of the book until later on which would usually kind of turn me off of a novel but I found Schwab’s writing so nice that I just kept going.

I have to say some of my favorite scenes in the book were definitely the fight scenes, they were so imaginative and cool and a little Avatar the Last Airbender-y which is always good. I want to keep reading the series in the hopes that somehow, something good will happen for Holland. It is my greatest wish.
